You all had 4 minutes? What did you say?
I said I valued my health, my family and friends and the ability to move on and evolve, and that I had a sense of adventure, I was careful and had very broad interests. It didn't get me the job, but I just couldn't go down the honest loyal patient tolerant line that everybody else did

Come off it, the ranty religionist wasn't giving it large about patience and tolerance. Maybe the others did, who can say. But where is your "I valued my health, my family and friends and the ability to move on and evolve" different to their patience and tolerence to the extent you'd get weeded out?
I don't know, these psycho analysts are strange bunch and I seem to have done pretty well for myself in the past without their profound wisdom. I prefer a more person centred, here and now approach, They probably didn't like it when I said that one of the greatest gifts my family and friends have given me is an appreciation of being detached, not what a clique of qwacks wanted to hear??

No. I talk for a living, at times, and I know that four minutes of uninterrupted talking, is a lot of talking. It's a lot of time to fill.
Yes, but we were given a few minutes to jot down some notes. It averaged 40 seconds on each value and feeling if you look at it like that.

What did you learn?
Have you trained as a Person-Centred counsellor?
What do you know about the agency you were applying to for a job?
Which approach to 'therapy' do they advocate?
I learnt that even at an interview I should and must challenge challenge unfair discrimination and prejudice. I also learnt that however capable I might expect a facilitator to be, I should never be surprised if they're incompetent and I should be prepared to offer them help.
I've done some training in the person centred approach but not a diploma, what do you think the best one is?
Before the interview I had an idea the organisation was highly professional, I had no first hand experience of them, but did do some research on the web. Now my opinion is not so high, I've experience their techniques, met some of their staff and seen their centre, and I wasn't impressed
Their approach is meant to be holistic and psychodynamic. I've never really had a high opinion of the psychodynamic appraoch, they probably picked up on this, que sera sera
